The South Kalimantan Police's Traffic Directorate (Ditlantas) said to supervise traffic violators (traffic) had installed 62 electronic ticketing cameras or Electronic Traffic Law Enforcement (ETLE) spread across 13 districts and cities.

"We continue to develop ETLE, this year there are 62 points and next year hopefully it will increase again," said South Kalimantan Police Chief Inspector General Pol Winarto when the 69th Bhayangkara Traffic celebration in 2024 at the Mathilda Hall in Banjarmasin, Monday, September 23, was confiscated by Antara.

The Kapolda acknowledged that the existence of a significant ETLE increased the discipline of motorists because they operated 1x24 hours in full.

This also has an impact on the number of traffic accidents that can be reduced.

"As is known, traffic accidents must have started with violations by motorists, both perpetrators and victims," he explained.

Meanwhile, the Director of Traffic of the South Kalimantan Police, Kombes Pol. Robertho Pardede, added that the driver who was caught by ETLE would find out that he was ticketed when paying vehicle taxes.

For vehicle owners who do not pay the obligation to pay fines, the tax cannot be processed.

"This is to ensure that the driver we ticket through ETLE is actually a vehicle that is under control," said Dirlantas.
